With Pete Peterson taking over the chairmanship of the Hamilton County Republican Party, he made the decision to step aside from his post as Fishers City Council President. As a result, John Weingardt will become City Council President for at least the remainder of 2016.  Weingardt was the last Fishers Town Council President before Fishers became a city.

Councilman David George was elected Vice President of the council.  The votes for president and vice president were unanimous.
